I do like mouse controls for a lot of traditional PC strategy and sim games. SimCity works better with a mouse. Heroes of might and magic works better with a mouse. It might be kind of cool to have those games on the switch 2.

Would be nice for Civ 7 as well.

I don't see the point as you can use the existing controllers like an air mouse.

And even on switch theres tons of games that just don't support it. Like Bioshock and tons of point and click games just use analog sticks.

Only a few, probably under 5 use an actually pointer system.

Also, hardly any of them use the touch screen FFS.

I wish devs would allow users to mod in pointer controls.

I've played a shit ton of Snowrunner, over 660 hours and I still have another 250 hours i could put in. That game has mods that allow fans to add the most amazing and sometimes ridiculous things to the game.

Let someone put motion controls in fps please.

Sony controllers have had gyro controls since PS3 but it's rarely used in games. It's probably because most people don't want to learn to use it. Id like to use it for aiming, but the movement destroys my wrists.

Maybe if you modify the sensitivity, you could only make tiny movements using it?

The majority of Switch FPS use motion controls. And unlike the Wii, they all seem to work really well without much tweaking.

I don't think I've completed a dual analog fps on switch. I actually avoid them, even when bought.

I'd forgotten about cross gen games. DF are saying MK9 is probably a cross gen game.


So that's why it doesn't look massively better I guess. The specs have Switch 2 like 8 to 11 times more powerful than Switch 1 in raw power. That doesn't even factor in DLSS, SSD, the RAM amount and bandwidth.

Civ 7 floodgates have opened for new gameplay footage. 2K has allowed some YT influencers to upload 1 hour of gameplay yesterday. I'm  really liking it far. Lots of changes from Civ 6.

Now to decide which edition to get: $70 Standard edition, $99 Deluxe edition, or the $129 Founders edition? Hmmm....

Edge had a good interview with the civ 7 boss. Expect changes. They said they've limited themselves to only changing a third of the game. The new leaders aspect looks positive.

As a lifelong Atari fan, I'm quite happy to hear they're doing well now and were able to carve out their own profitable niche in the industry. 👍
